In many areas of Africa, India, or the Middle East, to become a follower of Jesus immediately puts your life in danger.  Therefore, new believers are trained what to do if they're about to be killed for their new faith in Christ. 

 
They're told:
If you're about to be martyred, you look your murderer in the eye and say, "You don't take my life, I give it to you.  I give it to you the same way Jesus Christ came to earth and freely gave his life for both of us.  And I pray you'll soon come to know the love and freedom Jesus Christ offers."  And then you let them martyr you.
 
A hush fell over the room when this was shared with us.
 
There's a price to obedience, isn't there?
